    Good stay, but I wish the hotel were more up to date in its facilities.

    The hotel needs extensive, complete renovation. Everything is old. The rooms, the furniture, appliances, bathroom, phone, carpets, sheets, drapes, decoration, lights, etc. are quite old and worn out. That creates an atmosphere of a place in decay that does not care enough about the comfort of its guests. There are other hotels in Olympia of comparable ratings and prices that are much modern and comfortable.

    The location, surrounded by big trees near a lake. Quiet area, lots of privacy.

    No coffee pots in rooms. This is the deal breaker for me to not stay again.

    It all was amazing but no coffee in the room was a huge downfall.

    Although our room was clean, there was a musty smell especially in the bathroom. The window and net curtains had mildew. We were there much and kept the windows open otherwise Also,a minor point, at breakfast there were no toast/jam/cereals/yogurt which was a little disappointing, but i guess this is down to preferences.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Very spacious room. The bar and restaurant were nicely decorated with view ofbthe garden.

    Seemed run down; other than the young woman who checked us in, the staff was grumpy. Breakfast not worth the extra cost; room needed a deep clean. Had to vacate hotel upon checkin due to fire alarm. Fortunately it was not a fire.

    Location is great. Room was comfortable and looked recently renovated.

    Lower the prices of the food. Breaking even is important but even a dollar would be better for the guests.

    Great on site restaraunt and lounge-but unfortunately expensive. It was located in an upscale part of Olympia and many ammenities and walking trails/ neigborhoods.

    No coffee in the rooms! Had to get up and go all the way downstairs to get coffee. The hotel is big and we were pretty far away from the lobby. Also neither ice machine worked on the 2nd or 3rd floors. Carpet in front of both sets of elevators (2nd and 3rd floors) were stained with and looked terrible but they appeared to be new. Not sure why they weren't shampooed and cleaned up. All the outside windows need to be dusted, the spider webs were so bad.Really made the hotel look unkempt!

    The food at the restaurant was really good but pricey. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean!

    Hotel needs serious investment, looks like they have bitten off more than they have the capacity to deal with. Breakfast is best avoided.

    A breakfast menu was posted outside the restaurant but only a sparse buffet breakfast was offered. The menu promised all sorts of interesting food but the buffet was overpriced and very limited.

    Location was excellent with close proximity to Olympia

    The lobby could have had more natural light. The check in desk was a temporary installation and interfered with traffic flow.

    Good space for dog walking. Nice lodge-like quality to the exterior.

    Other than unrelated card issues nothing really!

    We were stopping through on the way back up towards SeaTac and this was definitely one of the nicer places. It's very clean and professional. The staff were great and patient about having some processing issues regarding the debit card.

    How uncomfortable the beds were and the sheets were scratchy, and the pillows were not comfortable.

    We loved the beauty of the location, for that we’d consider coming back.

    There is a small homeless camp next to the hotel which was quite surprising. I stayed away from Olympia to avoid this problem. We never felt threatened even when we hiked right past it. What I did not like is that we had a bottom floor room and we like a open window. We kept our window closed because of the camp. Someone could walk right up to the window. If we stayed again we would insist upon an upper floor room.

    Room was good enough and clean. We stayed only one night passing through. No breakfast and a big place. The hotel had a bar and restaurant and that was handy because the hotel is a little off the beaten path. I would stay here again if I was just passing through. The lake was nice too.

    Front desk lady seemed inconvenienced when we checked in. Hotel still under renovation...seems to be taking a long time. Room was older, not super clean, with used tissues behind the dresser, dirty washcloths in the tub, with used soap left out. Showed pool available, but when in person, pool closed. Previous pay for coffee bar was now gone. Really sad! Felt like what we paid for didn't quite match the description.

    Close to downtown Oly but not too close. Plenty of parking, lots of shade and trees. Quick check-in. Room was big. Hotel was quiet. Coffee out front in the a.m. was fantastic!! Beds were comfortable.
